Multi-functional Power Supply Adapter with Dual Plug Structure BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention generally relates to an electrical power supply adapter, and in particular to a multi-functional power supply adapter with compact dual plug structure comprising primary and secondary plugs that can be selectively used.
2. Description of the Prior Art Electrical appliances powered by built-in rechargeable batteries are commonly used. The electrical appliance with built-in rechargeable batteries is usually provided with a plug with/without an electrical cord for selectively connection with an electrical receptacle to charge the batteries.
The electrical receptacle is generally different from country to country. A conventional plug is generally designed for a receptacle of a particular country and may not be adapted in a different country. To address such a problem, adapters or chargers with a dual plug structure are available in the market and comprise two different plugs to be selectively used in compliance with the different receptacles adapted in different countries or areas.
However, it is noted that the conventional dual plug structure is not convenient in operation. Further, the structure of the conventional dual plug structure is complicated and has large dimension. Besides, because the conventional dual plug structure is designed improperly, it may cause electrical shock to the user.
It is thus desirable to have a dual plug structure that eliminates the problems discussed above.

The lower casing Ib of the adapter I is provided with a first side wall 4a, a second side wall 4b, and a rear wall 4c, as shown in Fig. 4, defining a plug retaining region 4 for retaining a dual plug structure which includes a
<Desc/Clms Page number 4>
primary plug 5 and a secondary plug 6.
Two pairs of resilient contacts 81 a, 81 b, 82a, 82b are protrusive on the plug retaining region 4, arranged on a circuit board 8 mounted in the adapter
I T-l-------I--I--4 -CUILlic ; i, a Pall U-L-'e'o'es"'are-"c-r,. rer s--l- 1. Further, a pair of opposite holes 41 are formed on the inner side wall of the first side wall 4a and the second side wall 4b respectively.
The primary plug 5 has a pair of trunnions 52a, 52b pivotally received in the holes 41 whereby the primary plug 5 is movable between an erect position (Figs. 1,2, and 3), and a collapsed position (Figs. 5 and 6) where the primary plug 5 may be received in the plug retaining region 4.
With reference to Fig. 7, the primary plug 5 comprises an insulative casing (not labeled) defining an interior space for movably receiving the secondary plug 6. Two prongs 5a, 5b extend beyond the casing of the primary plug 5. Two first terminal members 56a, 56b fixed in the primary plug 5 have first ends engaging with the prongs 5a, 5b and second ends which can engage with the contacts 81a, 81b when the primary plug 5 is at the erect position (Fig. 8).
The secondary plug 6 comprises an insulative casing (not labeled) defines two circular bores 64a, 64b for receiving two blades 6a, 6b therein. The blades 6a, 6b are retained in the bores 64a, 64b by means of a cover plate 66 and extended beyond the cover plate 66 through holes (not labeled) defined therein. Second terminal members 63a, 63b extend from the blades 6a, 6b beyond the casing of the secondary plug 6 in opposite direction.
The secondary plug 6 may be received in the interior space of the primary plug 5 with trunnions 6 la, 61b thereof pivotally received in circular recesses 53a, 53b defined in the casing of the primary plug 5 thereby rendering the secondary plug 6 movable with respect to the primary plug 5 between a collapsed position (Fig. 6) where the secondary plug 6 is completely received in the casing of the primary plug 5 and an erect position (Fig. 5) where the blades 6a, 6b project beyond the primary plug 5 through two openings 51 a, 51 b defined in the casing of the primary plug 5 for being ready to engage with a second wall outlet (not shown).
Openings 57a, 57b are defined in the casing of the primary plug 5 corresponding to the second terminal members 63a, 63b of the secondary
<Desc/Clms Page number 5>
plug 6. When the secondary plug 6 is moved to the erect position with the primary plug 5 at the collapsed position, the resilient contacts 82a, 82b extend into the casing of the primary plug 5 through the openings 57a, 57b and contact with the second terminal members 63a, 63b of the secondary plug 6 (Figs. 9 and 10).
Two raised ribs 55a, 55b are formed on the casing of the primary plug 5 and engage the resilient contacts 82a, 82b. So, when the primary plug 5 is moved to the erect position, while the secondary plug 6 is at the collapsed position, the ribs 55a, 55b depress the contacts 82a, 82b for preventing the contacts 82a, 82b from extending into the primary plug 5 thereby avoiding undesired electrical engagement between the secondary plug 6 and the contacts 82a, 82b.
Preferably, each rib 55a, 55b forms a runway inside the casing of the primary plug 5 for accommodating the movement of the second terminal members 63a, 63b with respect to the primary plug 5.
Biasing means, such as springs 62a, 62b are provided between the trunnions 61a, 61b of the secondary plug 6 and the corresponding recesses 53a, 53b of the primary plug 5. The springs 62a, 62b biases the secondary plug 6 to the erect position.
Referring to FIGS. 7,8, 10, a sliding channel 54 is defined in the casing of the primary plug 5 for movably receiving a slide 71. A switch member 7 is fixed to the slide 71 and extends beyond the casing of the primary plug 5 through an opening 50 defined in the casing thereof for facilitating manual movement of the slide 71 between a locking position and a releasing position. A biasing spring 74 is retained between the slide 71 and the casing of the primary plug 5 for biasing the slide 71 toward the locking position. Preferably, the biasing spring 74 is a helical spring having an end fit over a boss 73 formed on the slide 71. A latch pin 72 extends from the slide 71 for engaging with a corresponding bore 65 defined in the casing of the secondary plug 6 when the slide 71 is moved to the locking position.
The latch pin 72 is biased by the spring 74 to engage with the bore 65 of the secondary plug 6 for retaining the secondary plug 6 at the collapsed position. To use the secondary plug 6, the switch member 7 is manually
<Desc/Clms Page number 6>
moved against the spring 74 to move the slide 71 to the releasing position for releasing the secondary plug 6, so that the secondary plug 6 is automatically moved to the erect position under the force of the springs 62a, 62b.
With reference to Figs. 3, and 4, a protection plate 42 is further pivotally mounted between the first side walls 4a and the second side wall 4b, opposite to the rear wall 4c. The protection plate 42 has a pair of opposite trunnions 42a, 42b pivotally received in the holes 43 formed on inner side walls of the first side walls 4a and the second side wall 4b. Preferably, two springs 43a, 43b are mounted on the trunnions 42a, 42b for providing a biasing force to the protection plate 42. The protection plate 42 may cover on the outer side wall of the primary plug 5 when the primary plug 5 is at the erect position, so as to protect the terminal members 56a, 56b of the primary plug 5 from being touched by user. The protection plate 42 may be sandwiched between the lower casing 1 b and the primary plug 5 when the primary plug 5 is at the collapsed position.
Fig. 12 shows that the adapter 1 incorporates with a plug 21 in accordance with a second embodiment of the present invention. The plug 21 may be plugged into a known cigarette socket used in vehicles for supplying electric power to the battery attached on the battery receptacle 11 of the adapter 1.
Fig. 13 shows that the adapter 1 in accordance with a third embodiment of the present invention is connected with a branch connector 23 via a cable 22. The branch connector 23 has an input terminal 230 for receiving an input power source supplied from the adapter 1, a first output terminal 231 for supplying a first output voltage, and a second output terminal 232 for supplying a second output voltage. The first output terminal 231 may further connect with an extended wire assembly including a plug 241, an extended cable 242, and an output plug 243. Similarly, the second output terminal 232 may connect with an extended wire assembly including an extended cable 251, and an output plug 252. The output plug 252 may further connect with a voltage convertible plug 253.
Fig. 14 shows that the voltage convertible plug 253 includes corresponding casings 253a, 253b, an socket terminal 254 corresponding to
<Desc/Clms Page number 7>
the plug terminal of the output plug 252, and an output terminal 255 for supplying a converted output voltage. Four contact pins V+, V-, Cl, and C2 are arranged in the socket terminal 254.
Fig. 15 is a schematic circuit diagram of the power supply adapter of Fig. 13. A voltage converting circuit 10 may be arranged in the adapter 1 for voltage conversion, including a first voltage converting circuit lOa and a second voltage converting circuit lOb for converting the power Source Vin from the adapter 1. A first converted voltage from the first voltage converting circuit lOa may be supplied to the output plug 243 via the branch connector 23, the plug 241, and the extended cable 242.
The second converted voltage from the second voltage converting circuit lOb may be supplied to the output terminal 255 via the branch connector 23, the extended cable 251, the output plug 252, and the voltage convertible plug 253. The voltage convertible plug 253 includes a resister R therein. By changing the resistor R connected across the contact pins C 1 and C2 in the voltage convertible plug 253, a different output voltage may be obtained at the output terminal 255.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiment, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that a variety of modifications and changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention which is intended to be defined by the appended claims.
